Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a lighting component installation structure and a clothes drying rack. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, clothes dryers and other electrical appliances integrate light sources, which are typically used in conjunction with light guide plates to emit light. However, such clothes dryers or other electrical appliances with lighting functions suffer from an unattractive overall appearance due to limitations in the assembly relationship between the lighting components and other structures.
[0003] In clothes drying racks with integrated lighting, the light source is typically positioned outside the light guide plate. The outer casing requires a dedicated edging to conceal the light source and circuit components on the side of the light guide plate. However, this edging often occupies a significant portion of the light guide plate's edge, creating a noticeable black border effect and making the casing appear bulky, thus affecting the overall aesthetics.

Detailed Implementation
[0053] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0054] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0055] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0056] In electrical appliances such as clothes dryers with integrated lighting, the assembly method of the lighting components directly affects the appearance of the equipment and the user experience. Currently, due to limitations in the assembly methods of lighting components, the following shortcomings exist:
[0057] First, some devices use a side-light source layout, such as... Figure 23 The illustration shows that the light source is positioned on the left or right side of the light guide plate. The light from the light source enters the light guide plate and is reflected inside the light guide plate to achieve the lighting effect. In order to block the internal light source and achieve the effect that the internal light source cannot be seen from the outside of the device, the side panel of the device needs to have a edging structure. The edging structure is located at the bottom of the lighting component to block the internal light source. This type of edging is relatively wide, creating a visually heavy feeling of a wide frame.
[0058] Secondly, some devices have eliminated the side panel edging, directly using curved lampshades. These curved lampshades resemble curved screens, with the left and right sides extending upwards and assembled with the left and right side panels respectively. However, on the one hand, the curved areas of the lampshade create visible dark areas due to uneven light refraction, disrupting the uniformity of light output; on the other hand, when viewed from the left or right side of the device, the joint between the side panel and the lampshade is visible, creating a visual discontinuity. Furthermore, the lampshade wraps around the side panels, resulting in a rather bulky visual effect.
[0059] To address these issues, this application provides a lighting component mounting structure that can be applied to clothes drying racks, multi-functional bathroom appliances (including lighting and ventilation functions), household ceiling lights, range hoods, smart wardrobes, smart curtain boxes, pet grooming machines, etc. This application also provides a clothes drying rack incorporating this lighting component mounting structure.
[0060] This application uses a direct-lit light source 30 layout, placing the light source 30 above the light-transmitting plate 40. The fixing part on the inner side of the side plate only needs to support the light-transmitting plate 40, without additionally blocking the light source 30, thus achieving an extremely narrow bezel effect. At the same time, the two sides of the light-transmitting plate 40 are completely blocked by the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20, eliminating the visual discontinuity and heaviness caused by the extension of the sides of the traditional curved lampshade.
[0061] Please refer to Figures 1 to 21 The lighting component installation structure of this application will now be described.
[0062] The lighting assembly mounting structure includes a first side plate 10, a second side plate 20, and a lighting assembly. The first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 are spaced apart, forming a space between them for mounting the lighting assembly and other components. The lighting assembly is disposed between the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20. The lighting assembly includes a light source 30 and a light-transmitting plate 40. The two opposite sides of the light-transmitting plate 40 are a light-receiving surface 401 and a light-emitting surface 402, respectively. The light source 30 is located on the upper side of the light-transmitting plate 40, and the light source 30 faces the light-receiving surface 401.
[0063] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 5 , Figure 4 A first fixing part 11 and a second fixing part 21 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20. That is, the first fixing part 11 is provided on the side of the first side plate 10 closest to the second side plate 20, and the second fixing part 21 is provided on the side of the second side plate 20 closest to the first side plate 10. The light-transmitting plate 40 is connected to the first fixing part 11 to support the light-transmitting plate 40 through the first side plate 10. The light-transmitting plate 40 is connected to the second fixing part 21 to support the light-transmitting plate 40 through the second side plate 20. The connection method between the light-transmitting plate 40 and the first fixing part 11, and between the light-transmitting plate 40 and the second fixing part 21, can be, but is not limited to, insertion connection, snap-fit connection, fastener connection, adhesive connection, and magnetic connection. The first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 block the light-transmitting plate 40 on both sides. For example, the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 are arranged at intervals in the left and right direction. The left side of the light-transmitting plate 40 is blocked by the first side plate 10, and the right side of the light-transmitting plate 40 is blocked by the second side plate 20.
[0064] For example, the main unit of the clothes drying rack includes the lighting component mounting structure. The first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 are spaced apart along the width direction of the main unit (e.g., the left and right direction of the main unit). The light source 30 is located on the upper side of the light-transmitting plate 40. The upper surface of the light-transmitting plate 40 is the light-receiving surface 401, and the lower surface is the light-emitting surface 402. After the light source 30 is powered on, it emits light. The light emitted by the light source 30 diffuses inside the light-transmitting plate 40 to form a uniform light emission effect.
[0065] Optionally, the light source 30 is a light strip with several LEDs mounted on it. The light strip is positioned above the light-transmitting plate 40 in a direct-lighting manner, with the LEDs pointing downwards. Alternatively, the light source 30 can be positioned directly above the light-transmitting plate 40 and directly illuminating downwards (e.g.,...). Figure 4 Indication, Figure 4 (The dotted line in the figure indicates the light source). The light source 30 can also be set diagonally above the light-transmitting plate 40 to illuminate the light downwards at an angle (not shown in the figure).
[0066] Optionally, the light-transmitting plate 40 is made of a non-fully transparent material, so that when the user observes from the bottom up, there is no need to set an inwardly extending blocking structure on the inside of the side panel, and the light source 30 structure can be hidden. For example, the light-transmitting plate 40 is a haze diffuser, or the light-emitting surface 402 of the light-transmitting plate 40 is a frosted surface.
[0067] When the light-transmitting plate 40 is a haze diffuser plate, the substrate of the light-transmitting plate 40 can be, but is not limited to, PMMA (acrylic), PS (polystyrene), PC (polycarbonate), or glass. Several diffusion particles are set inside the light-transmitting plate 40, such as barium sulfate and titanium dioxide. When the light from the light source 30 passes through the interior of the light-transmitting plate 40, it is scattered multiple times by the diffusion particles and then uniformly emitted from the light-emitting surface 402 of the light-transmitting plate 40, achieving uniform light emission. When looking at the light-transmitting plate 40 from the bottom up, the light-transmitting plate 40 has the effect of hiding the internal structure.
[0068] When the light-emitting surface 402 of the light-transmitting plate 40 is a frosted surface (i.e., the light-emitting surface 402 has a frosted texture layer), the light-emitting surface 402 forms a micro-rough structure through a frosting process (such as chemical etching or imprinting), which directly scatters light, achieving uniform light emission while concealing the internal structure.
[0069] This application arranges the light source 30 on the upper side of the light-transmitting plate 40, with the light source 30 illuminating downwards. This eliminates the need for the fixing parts of the side plate to support or block the light source 30 located on the left and right sides of the light-transmitting plate 40. This reduces the width of the fixing parts on the inner side of the side plate, thereby reducing the bezel width around the edge of the light-transmitting plate 40 when viewed from the bottom of the device. This achieves a narrow bezel design, making the device appear thinner and more aesthetically pleasing. For example, as... Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 2As shown, the first fixing part 11 and the second fixing part 21 only serve to support the light-transmitting plate 40 and do not need to block the light source 30 on the side of the light-transmitting plate 40. The width of the first fixing part 11 and the second fixing part 21 can be reduced to less than 5mm.
[0070] This application uses the first side panel 10 and the second side panel 20 to shield the sides of the light-transmitting plate 40, which can eliminate the side splicing seam and make the side appearance of the equipment more concise. Taking the first side panel 10 located on the left side of the clothes drying rack main unit as an example, when looking at the main unit from the left side, the splicing effect of "the upper area is the side panel and the lower area is the light-transmitting plate 40 or lampshade" will not be seen, nor will the light-transmitting plate 40 or lampshade be seen wrapping upwards around the side panel, reducing visual redundancy and heaviness.
[0071] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 To enhance the overall structural reliability, the lighting assembly mounting structure also includes a central fixing member 50, which is positioned between the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20. The light-transmitting plate 40 includes a first light-transmitting portion 41 and a second light-transmitting portion 42. The first light-transmitting portion 41 is located between the first side plate 10 and the central fixing member 50, and the second light-transmitting portion 42 is located between the central fixing member 50 and the second side plate 20.
[0072] One side of the first light-transmitting part 41 is connected to the first side plate 10 via the first fixing part 11, and the other side is connected to the middle fixing member 50.
[0073] One side of the second light-transmitting part 42 is connected to the second side plate 20 via the second fixing part 21, and the other side is connected to the middle fixing member 50.
[0074] For example, in the main unit of a clothes drying rack, the first side panel 10, the first light-transmitting part 41, the middle fixing member 50, the second light-transmitting part 42, and the second side panel 20 are arranged from left to right. The left side of the first side panel 10 is assembled with the first light-transmitting part 41, and the right side is assembled with the middle fixing member 50; the left side of the second light-transmitting part 42 is assembled with the middle fixing member 50, and the right side is assembled with the second side panel 20.
[0075] Figures 5 to 10In this design, the first light-transmitting part 41 and the second light-transmitting part 42 are two independent components. Firstly, the separation of the light-transmitting plate 40 into two components allows the stress generated by thermal expansion and contraction or mechanical vibration to be isolated by the central fixing member 50, reducing overall deformation of the light-transmitting plate 40 and preventing issues such as inconsistent lighting effects in localized areas due to localized deformation or arching. This also reduces the risk of the light-transmitting plate 40 detaching, improving its installation stability and reliability. Secondly, the first light-transmitting part 41 and the second light-transmitting part 42 can be designed differently, such as with varying haze or thickness, to suit the lighting needs of different areas of the equipment. Thirdly, if a single light-transmitting part is damaged (e.g., cracked), it can be disassembled and replaced individually without requiring overall disassembly, reducing maintenance costs.
[0076] In other embodiments, the first light-transmitting part 41 and the second light-transmitting part 42 can also be connected by the middle connecting part to form an integral structure. The middle connecting part passes through the middle fixing member 50. In this case, the middle fixing member 50 plays the role of supporting the light-transmitting plate 40 in the middle position, and also reduces the risk of damage to the light-transmitting plate 40.
[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, a third fixing part 51 is provided on the side of the central fixing member 50 near the first side plate 10, and a fourth fixing part 52 is provided on the side near the second side plate 20. The two sides of the first light-transmitting part 41 are connected to the first fixing part 11 and the third fixing part 51, respectively. The two sides of the second light-transmitting part 42 are connected to the fourth fixing part 52 and the second fixing part 21, respectively. By providing fixing parts on both sides of the central fixing member 50 to respectively install and support the two light-transmitting parts, the assembly efficiency and reliability are high.
[0078] Optionally, the connections between the first light-transmitting part 41 and the first fixing part 11, between the first light-transmitting part 41 and the third fixing part 51, between the second light-transmitting part 42 and the fourth fixing part 52, and between the second light-transmitting part 42 and the second fixing part 21 are all configured as insert connections. An insert connection refers to a connection method where one component is inserted into another component. The light-transmitting plate 40 is installed via an insert method, eliminating the need for additional screws or adhesives, resulting in high assembly efficiency; when the light-transmitting plate 40 is damaged, it can be easily removed and replaced, facilitating maintenance.
[0079] Optionally, when the light-transmitting plate 40 is installed by insertion, the first fixing part 11 has a first slot 111, and the second fixing part 21 has a second slot 211. One side of the light-transmitting plate 40 is inserted into the first slot 111, and the other side is inserted into the second slot 211. When a central fixing member 50 is provided, the third fixing part 51 has a third slot 511, and the fourth fixing part 52 has a fourth slot 521. The first light-transmitting part 41 has its two sides inserted into the first slot 111 and the third slot 511, respectively, and the second light-transmitting part 42 has its two sides inserted into the fourth slot 521 and the second slot 211, respectively. It is understood that the first light-transmitting part 41 and the second light-transmitting part 42 can be flat structures. The light-transmitting part can be installed by directly inserting it into the slot through its edge. The fixing part can wrap around the upper surface, outer side, and lower side of the edge of the light-transmitting part, providing good support for the light-transmitting plate 40 and improving its bending strength.
[0080] Optionally, taking the first side plate 10, the middle fixing member 50, and the second side plate 20 as an example, which are spaced apart along the x direction and all extend along the y direction, the first slot 111, the second slot 211, the third slot 511, and the fourth slot 521 are connected at both ends in the y direction, and the four slots have inner grooves on the side facing the light-transmitting part of the light-transmitting plate 40 in the x direction. In this way, the light-transmitting plate 40 can be inserted into the slot from the end along the y direction, or it can be inserted into the slot from the inner groove on the side along the x direction, which makes the installation method flexible.
[0081] In other embodiments, in order to realize the insertion of the light-transmitting plate 40, slots can be provided on both sides of the first light-transmitting part 41 and the second light-transmitting part 42 respectively, and the first fixing part 11, the second fixing part 21, the third fixing part 51 and the fourth fixing part 52 are configured as insertion protrusions. By inserting the fixing part into the slot of the light-transmitting part, the assembly of the light-transmitting part with the side plate and the light-transmitting part with the middle fixing member 50 can be realized.
[0082] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figures 15 to 20 The lighting component mounting structure includes a first end cover 60 and a second end cover 70. The first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 are located on both sides of the light-transmitting plate 40 in one direction, and the first end cover 60 and the second end cover 70 are located on both sides of the light-transmitting plate 40 in the other direction. The first end cover 60 is connected to the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 respectively, and the second end cover 70 is connected to the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 respectively.
[0083] The first side plate 10, the second end cap 70, the second side plate 20, and the second end cap 70 are assembled to form a housing. The two side plates and the two end caps are assembled to define an internal receiving space. The lighting components are installed in the receiving space. The two side plates and the two end caps cooperate to protect the lighting components and other internal structural components.
[0084] Optionally, the lighting assembly mounting structure also includes a top plate 90, which is connected to the upper side of the first side plate 10 and the upper side of the second side plate 20. A receiving space is located between the two side plates, the end caps, and the top plate 90, which protects the internal structural components from above.
[0085] Optionally, the width direction of the light-transmitting plate 40 is the x-direction and the length direction is the y-direction, the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 are spaced apart along the x-direction, and the first end cover 60 and the second end cover 70 are spaced apart along the x-direction.
[0086] In one embodiment, the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 serve to support the light-transmitting plate 40. For example... Figures 17 to 19 As shown, the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are disposed on opposite sides of the light-transmitting plate 40y in the direction of light transmission. A fifth fixing part 61 is provided on the side of the first end cap 60 near the second end cap 70, and a sixth fixing part 71 is provided on the side of the second end cap 70 near the first end cap 60. One side of the light-transmitting plate 40y in the direction of light transmission is connected to the fifth fixing part 61, and the other side is connected to the sixth fixing part 71.
[0087] Optionally, when the light-transmitting plate 40 includes a first light-transmitting part 41 and a second light-transmitting part 42, the two sides of the first light-transmitting part 41 are respectively connected to the fifth fixing part 61 and the sixth fixing part 71, and the two sides of the second light-transmitting part 42 are respectively connected to the fifth fixing part 61 and the sixth fixing part 71.
[0088] Optionally, the fifth fixing part 61 has a fifth slot 611, and the sixth fixing part 71 has a sixth slot 711. The fifth slot 611 and the sixth slot 711 are respectively inserted into the two sides of the light-transmitting plate 40y direction, so that the edge areas of the two sides of the light-transmitting plate 40y direction are respectively wrapped by the end caps on both sides, thereby improving the installation stability of the light-transmitting plate 40 and reducing the risk of the light-transmitting plate 40 falling off and deforming. For example, the left and right sides of the light-transmitting plate 40 are first installed between the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 by insertion, and then the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are installed at both ends of the light-transmitting plate 40. After the installation of the end caps on both sides is completed, the slots of the fixing parts on the two end caps wrap around the front and rear ends of the light-transmitting plate 40, making the light-transmitting plate 40 easy to install and remove, and ensuring high reliability after installation.
[0089] In other embodiments, the fifth fixing part 61 and the sixth fixing part 71 may only support the lower surface of the light-transmitting plate 40, or the fifth fixing part 61 and the sixth fixing part 71 may be inserted into the groove of the light-transmitting plate 40, or the fifth fixing part 61 and the sixth fixing part 71 may be assembled and cooperated with both sides of the light-transmitting plate 40 by means of adhesive connection, magnetic connection, etc. As long as the fifth fixing part 61 and the sixth fixing part 71 have a limiting effect on the light-transmitting plate 40, it is acceptable.
[0090] In one embodiment, when a first end cap 60 and a second end cap 70 are provided, in order to prevent the light-transmitting plate 40 from falling off during transportation or use, the first side plate 10 is locked with at least one of the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70, and the second side plate 20 is locked with at least one of the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70, so as to restrict the first side plate 10 from deforming outward in a direction away from the second side plate 20, and restrict the second side plate 20 from deforming outward in a direction away from the first side plate 10, thereby ensuring the stable support of the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 for the light-transmitting plate 40 located in the middle.
[0091] Optionally, a first locking part 12 is provided on the side of the first side plate 10 near the second side plate 20. The first locking part 12 is located above the first fixing part 11. A first end cap 60 and a second end cap 70 are connected to the first locking part 12. A second locking part 22 is provided on the side of the second side plate 20 near the first side plate 10. The second locking part 22 is located above the second fixing part 21. A first end cap 60 and a second end cap 70 are connected to the second locking part 22. For example, Figure 20 In the middle, the second end cover 70 includes a first connecting part a and a second connecting part b. By installing a locking screw at position a, the second end cover 70 is locked to the first locking part 12 on the first side plate 10. By installing a locking screw at position b, the second end cover 70 is locked to the second locking part 22 on the second side plate 20.
[0092] Figures 11 to 14 The diagram illustrates that after the end cap is locked to the first locking part 12, it can provide an inward limiting force F to restrict the first side plate 10 from flipping outward, thereby keeping the first light-transmitting part 41 connected and engaged with the first side plate 10, and preventing the edge of the first light-transmitting part 41 from falling off.
[0093] like Figures 7 to 10The diagram illustrates that the first fixing part 11 has a first slot 111, and the inner side of the first fixing part 11 has an inner groove of the first slot 111. The second fixing part 21 has a second slot 211, and the inner side of the second fixing part 21 has an inner groove of the second slot 211. The two sides of the light-transmitting plate 40 are inserted into the first slot 111 and the second slot 211 respectively through their inner grooves. Even if there are assembly or processing errors, and even if there are gaps between the light-transmitting plate 40 and the groove walls of the first slot 111 and the second slot 211, the end caps on both sides can prevent the two side plates from folding outwards, thus preventing the edges of the light-transmitting plate 40 from coming out of the inner grooves of the two side slots and avoiding the light-transmitting plate 40 from falling off. Similarly, during transportation, even if there is shaking or dropping, the end caps on both sides can also prevent the two side plates from folding outwards, thereby reducing the risk of the two sides of the light-transmitting plate 40 detaching from the side plates. Figures 7 to 10 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 20 ,in, Figure 20 The first light-transmitting portion 41 and the second light-transmitting plate 40 are omitted, but the assembly method of the first side plate 10, the second side plate 20, the first end cap 60, and the second end cap 70 is illustrated. For example, by locking the second end cap 70 to the first locking portion 12 inside the first side plate 10 at position a, the first side plate 10 is provided with an inward limiting force, preventing it from flipping outward, thus ensuring that the edge of the light-transmitting plate 40 can be stably inserted into the first slot 111 inside the first side plate 10. Similarly, by locking the second end cap 70 to the second locking portion 22 inside the second side plate 20 at position b, the second side plate 20 is provided with an inward limiting force, preventing it from flipping outward, thus ensuring that the edge of the light-transmitting plate 40 can be stably inserted into the second slot 211 inside the second side plate 20.
[0094] Optionally, the first locking part 12 disposed on the inner side of the first side plate 10 is a first long rib, which extends along the length direction of the first side plate 10, and the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first long rib. The second locking part 22 disposed on the inner side of the second side plate 20 is a second long rib, which extends along the length direction of the second side plate 20, and the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second long rib.
[0095] The first end cap 60 and the first long rib, the second end cap 70 and the first long rib, the first end cap 60 and the second long rib, and the second end cap 70 and the second long rib are respectively fastened together by screws. For example, the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are provided with through holes corresponding to the positions of the long ribs, and self-tapping screws are passed through the through holes of the end caps and threadedly connected to the long ribs to achieve a locking connection between the end caps and the long ribs. In other embodiments, the end caps and the long ribs can also be connected by a detachable method such as snap-fit.
[0096] For example, in the main unit of a clothes drying rack, a first side plate 10 and a second side plate 20 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and a first end cap 60 and a second end cap 70 are spaced apart in the front-back direction. The left and right sides of the first end cap 60 are locked and fixed to the front ends of the first long rib and the second long rib respectively by fasteners. The left and right sides of the second end cap 70 are locked and fixed to the rear ends of the first long rib and the second long rib respectively by fasteners. In this way, the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 can restrict the first side plate 10 from flipping outward from the front and back sides, so as to keep the left side of the light-transmitting plate 40 inserted into the inner slot of the first side plate 10 from both ends. Similarly, the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 can restrict the second side plate 20 from flipping outward from the front and back sides, so as to keep the left side of the light-transmitting plate 40 inserted into the inner slot of the second side plate 20 from both ends.
[0097] It is understandable that by using continuous first and second long ribs, the two end caps are locked to the two side plates from the four corners. The long ribs on both sides extend along the length of the two side plates respectively. The long ribs are similar to the inner reinforcing bones of the side plates. When the side plates tend to overturn under their own weight or external load, the long ribs will evenly distribute the external force to the entire side plate, rather than concentrating it at a local locking point, resulting in better overall structural strength and stability.
[0098] In other embodiments, two independent and spaced-apart first locking parts 12 are provided on the inner side of the first side plate 10, and the two first locking parts 12 are respectively connected to the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70. Two independent and spaced-apart second locking parts 22 are provided on the inner side of the second side plate 20, and the two second locking parts 22 are respectively connected to the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70.
[0099] The following are several ways to set the locking part of the side panel:
[0100] One method of setting the locking part: The first locking part 12 is located inside the first side plate 10 and spaced apart from the inner wall of the first side plate 10. The first locking part 12 is connected to the inner wall of the first side plate 10 through a connecting part. Similarly, the second locking part 22 is located inside the second side plate 20 and spaced apart from the inner wall of the second side plate 20. The second locking part 22 is connected to the inner wall of the second side plate 20 through a connecting part. The connecting part is inclined inward from bottom to top (e.g., ...). Figure 11 (Illustration)
[0101] Second locking part arrangement: Similar to the first locking part arrangement, but the connecting part is perpendicular to the inner wall of the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 (e.g., Figure 12 (Illustration)
[0102] Third locking mechanism setting method: Similar to the first locking mechanism setting method, but the connecting part is inclined inward from top to bottom (e.g.) Figure 13(Illustration)
[0103] Locking part configuration method four: The first locking part 12 is directly fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first side plate 10, and the second locking part 22 is directly fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second side plate 20 (e.g., Figure 14 (Illustration)
[0104] Understandably, after the end caps are connected to the locking parts of the side plates, the optimal solution for preventing the first side plate 10 from flipping outward and the second side plate 20 from flipping outward by pulling the two end caps inward is... Figure 12 The plan and Figure 14 The solution is that the locking force can directly act to resist the outward movement of the side panel. However, Figure 11 Plans and Figure 13 The design, through the use of inclined connecting parts, helps to avoid certain structural elements.
[0105] In one embodiment, when the lighting assembly mounting structure includes a first end cap 60, a second end cap 70, and a central fixing member 50, and the light-transmitting plate 40 includes a first light-transmitting portion 41 and a second light-transmitting portion 42, refer to Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 The first end cap 60 is connected to the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 on both sides, and the middle part of the first end cap 60 is also connected to the middle fixing member 50. Similarly, the second end cap 70 is connected to the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 on both sides, and the middle part of the first end cap 60 is also connected to the middle fixing member 50.
[0106] Thus, the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 can not only be used to protect the internal lighting components in conjunction with the side plates and to pull the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 inward, but also to reduce the installation gap after the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are installed. During assembly, the first side plate 10, the first light-transmitting part 41, the central fixing member 50, the second light-transmitting part 42, and the second side plate 20 can be assembled into a first component firstly, and then the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 can be installed on both ends of the first component respectively. The two sides of the end cap can be locked to the side plates on both sides to achieve the initial installation of the end cap to the first component. However, there may be some assembly gaps between the end cap and the first component. This may result in an assembly gap between the light-transmitting plate 40 and the end cap when viewed from below, affecting the aesthetics. In this embodiment, the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are connected to the central fixing member 50 in the middle, which can pull the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 tight from the middle to avoid assembly gaps.
[0107] It is understandable that when the inner side of the first end cap 60 has a fifth slot 611 and the inner side of the second end cap 70 has a sixth slot 711, the first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are respectively connected to the middle fixing member 50, so that the two ends of the light-transmitting plate 40 can be inserted into the fifth slot 611 and the sixth slot 711 respectively. This results in stronger overall assembly, higher structural strength, prevention of the light-transmitting plate 40 from falling off, and reduction of assembly gaps.
[0108] Optionally, the central fixing member 50 is provided with a central locking part 53, which includes a spaced third long rib 531 and a fourth long rib 532, with the fourth long rib 532 located on the side of the third long rib 531 close to the second long rib. The first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are respectively fastened to both ends of the third long rib 531 by fasteners, which further locks and fixes the first light-transmitting part 41. The first end cap 60 and the second end cap 70 are respectively fastened to both ends of the fourth long rib 532 by fasteners, which further locks and fixes the second light-transmitting part 42. It can be understood that by setting the third long rib 531 and the fourth long rib 532, on the one hand, each end cap and the central fixing member 50 can be locked and connected at at least two positions, resulting in high stability; on the other hand, the long ribs, as the connecting part between the central fixing member 50 and the end caps, can also strengthen the overall bending strength of the central fixing member 50.
[0109] For example, Figure 20 In the middle, the second end cover 70 includes a first connecting part c and a second connecting part d. By installing a locking screw at position c, the second end cover 70 is locked to a third locking part. By installing a locking screw at position d, the second end cover 70 is locked to a fourth locking part.
[0110] In other embodiments, the central locking portion 53 may include only one locking rib.
[0111] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 8 A first fixing part 11 is provided on the side of the first side plate 10 near the second side plate 20. The first fixing part 11 has a first slot 111 on the side of the first fixing part 11 near the second side plate 20. The light-transmitting plate 40 is inserted into the first slot 111. The first slot 111 includes a slot wall facing the light-emitting surface 402 as a first slot bottom wall. A first protruding rib 112 is provided on the first slot bottom wall near the inner slot opening of the first slot 111. The light-transmitting plate 40 abuts against the first protruding rib 112. Similarly, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 10A second fixing part 21 is provided on the side of the second side plate 20 near the first side plate 10. The second fixing part 21 has a second slot 211 on the side of the second side plate 10 near the first side plate 10. The light-transmitting plate 40 is inserted into the second slot 211. The second slot 211 includes a slot wall facing the light-emitting surface 402 as a second slot bottom wall. A second protruding rib 212 is provided on the second slot bottom wall near the inner slot opening of the second slot 211. The light-transmitting plate 40 abuts against the second protruding rib 212.
[0112] Taking the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 located on the left and right sides respectively as an example, the right side of the first slot 111 has an inner groove, and the left side of the second slot 211 has an inner groove. The slot height h1 of the first slot 111 and the second slot 211 is slightly greater than the thickness h2 of the light-transmitting plate 40 (e.g., h1 = h2 + 0.2 mm) to reserve space for assembly tolerance compensation.
[0113] By configuring two ribs on the bottom wall of the two slots, the following advantages are achieved: First, after the light-transmitting plate 40 is inserted into the two slots on both sides, the ribs support the light-transmitting plate 40, ensuring that the edge area of the light-transmitting plate 40 remains stably in the slot, and the position of the light-transmitting plate 40 at the inner opening of the slot is not easily moved or loosened. Second, the contact between the light-emitting surface 402 on the lower side of the light-transmitting plate 40 and the bottom wall of the slot is changed from surface contact to line contact, reducing the insertion resistance of the light-transmitting plate 40 during assembly and simplifying the assembly difficulty between the light-transmitting plate 40 and the side plate. Third, the light-transmitting plate 40 can use the ribs as insertion fulcrums, such as... Figure 22 The light-transmitting plate 40 is inserted into the slot at an angle from the inner groove. For example, the left edge of the light-transmitting plate 40 can be inserted into the first slot 111 at an angle through the groove on the inner side of the first fixing part 11. After insertion, the light-transmitting plate 40 can be rotated to make it horizontal, making the installation method flexible. Fourth, when the user looks from the bottom up, it is less likely to see the assembly gap between the light-transmitting plate 40 and the first fixing part 11, which helps to hide the assembly gap.
[0114] In other embodiments, the first slot 111 and the second slot 211 may also be U-shaped structures or other shapes.
[0115] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 6 The light source 30 includes at least two spaced light strips. Optionally, at least one light source 30 is included between the first side plate 10 and the central fixing member 50, and at least one light source 30 is included between the central fixing member 50 and the second side plate 20, for uniform illumination.
[0116] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6The lighting assembly includes a mounting plate 81, which is connected to the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20. A light source 30 is positioned on the side of the mounting plate 81 near the light-transmitting plate 40, and is mounted on the mounting plate 81. The mounting plate 81 can be, but is not limited to, a metal plate. When multiple light sources 30 are used, they can be first mounted on the mounting plate 81 and then fixed between the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 via the mounting plate 81, resulting in high assembly efficiency and high structural stability.
[0117] Optionally, when the central fixing member 50 is included, the central fixing member 50 is disposed on the side of the mounting plate 81 near the light-transmitting plate 40, and the central fixing member 50 is mounted on the mounting plate 81. The central fixing member 50 and the light source 30 share the mounting plate 81 as a supporting base, resulting in a highly compact structure. The mounting plate 81, the light source 30, and the central fixing member 50 can be assembled into a whole, and then fixed between the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20 through the mounting plate 81 as a whole.
[0118] Optionally, such as Figure 5 The illustration also includes multiple fixing strips 82, spaced apart. Each fixing strip 82 is connected to the mounting plate 81 at its middle position, and its two ends are connected to the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20, respectively, to connect the mounting plate 81 to the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 20. The multiple fixing strips 82 secure the mounting plate 81 at multiple positions, making the mounting plate 81 more stable and preventing bending or arching after assembly, thus ensuring the stability of the emission angle of the light source 30.

The main unit integrates a lighting component mounting structure as described in any of the above embodiments.
